WATCH-MAKERS AND JEWELERS TOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 251,183, dated December 20, 1881. Application filed November 21, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ORVIS W. BULLOCK, a citizen ot'the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Watch -Makers and Jewelers Tools, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to the construction of a single tool for watch-makers and jewelers in which are combined both tweezers and a case-opener, the object being to provide said two implements in one, for the greater convenience of the above-named artificers, whereby the frequent change oftools usually demanded in such work as theirs is to a considerable extent obviated.

One end of one of said legs is made to extend beyond said body b, in the opposite direction to the pointed ends of the tweezer-legs, forming the watch-case opener c, and the end of the latter is of a curved form, and has its edge made thin and of tapering form, to adapt it to be forced between the parts ofa watch-case for the purpose of prying open the latter.

What I claim as my invention is- As a new article of manufacture, the Within-
